1. Operation data
Internal number: OB_009
Operational regime: Algorithmic Transformation
Source image: Representation from life
Operational description:
Using the iPhone Freeform app, the object is quickly represented from life, applying scribbles, painting, and drawing operations to smudge, erase, and cover the image so that it gradually disappears or enters a state of crisis.

6. Crisis and formal-perceptual reading
Main crisis: Pictorial crisis
The operation affects the visual grammar of the image: form, contour, color, figure/ground relationship, legibility, recognition, and support.
The image enters into crisis through colors, form, and legibility, everything except the support; it is the most pictorial one, because it gives the option to paint but the support does not begin to fail.
7. Final evaluation and artistic reference
Question to the operation:
Does this operation truly put the image in crisis, or does it function merely as an aesthetic effect?
It puts the image in crisis in an aesthetic way, but not as a format image.
Operation notes / what I learned:
It is an operation similar to painting, but less controlled and faster. The feeling is good because you make something appear that was not there before. Experience and technique are required to achieve good effects.
